RDBNis centrally located in the province between Prince George and Prince Rupert. The RDBNhas a connected transportation and communication network, hosting active forestry, mining, agriculture, and tourism industries. The Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako is 77,821 square kilometers in size and hosts a population of 39,208 which includes the incorporated municipalities of Smithers (5,404 pop.), Vanderhoof (4,480 pop.), Houston (3,147 pop.), Burns Lake (2,385 pop.), Fort St. James (1,691 pop.), Fraser Lake (1,167 pop.), Telkwa (1,350 pop.), Granisle (303 pop.) and the unincorporated electoral areas ‘A’—SmithersRural(5,396 — — pop.), ‘B’ Burns LakeRural (2,117 pop.), ‘C’ Fort St. James Rural (2,779 pop.), ‘D’— Fraser Lake Rural — (2,155 pop.), ‘E’ — Francois/OotsaLake Rural (1,641 pop.), ‘F’ Vanderhoof Rural (4,044 pop.), and ‘G’— Houston Rural (1,149 pop.).

The region hosts three significant mine projects producing gold, silver,copper and molybdenum although low molybdenum prices have caused one to shut down pending improvement in molybdenum prices. As well,the region supports mining projects in the neighboring regions with mining supplies, employees and expertise. Highway 16, ’the Yellowhead’,is the main road transportation linkto Prince Rupert's deep sea ports and world markets. In addition, the Canadian National Railroad(CNR),operates the main rail link moving goods to and from world markets across North America directly across the Regional Districtof Bulkley-Nechako. Broadband internet and cell phone coverage is decent in the municipalities, but spotty to poor in the rural areas. 2 ISSUE New Provincial economic activity is bringing development opportunities to the Bulkley-Nechakoregion. These include mining opportunities as well as pipeline construction to supply natural gas to BC’snew liquefied natural gas (LNG)industry and bitumen to supply world markets with oil from Alberta. These projects collectively are going to contribute significantlyto the economy of BritishColumbia by providing investment, jobs and transportation linksfrom North America to the world. I l. The Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako, as a host to this industrial activity needs to be in a position to support this activity without burdening the existing infrastructure and services of the region. The Regional District of Bulkley-Nechakoand its member municipalities want to remain competitive and current with supplying and maintaining basic services to its residents and new industrial opportunities. in order to achieve this, the region needs access to financial support from industry and the Province to ensure that the services needed to support the industrial development are in place as they are needed. Local government does not have direct access to resource royalties or international trade taxation so investment in local communities by those that do have access is critical. industry is authorized to operate by the Province and in many instances operates outside local property taxingjurisdiction resulting in little or no direct investment in local infrastructure and services even though industry and the people benefiting from industry use those services. The issue is simple, the Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako is hosting industrial activity without sustainable investment in our communities. 3 DEMANDFORLOCALSERVICES Localgovernment's prime responsibility is to provide local services to its residents and businesses.These services can be categorized as ’Primary Services’, ’Secondary Services’, and ’Communityor SocialServices’. These services make ‘communities’ and are critical to the foundation of community living and development. The greater the number of services and quality of services, the stronger and more sustainable the local community is to support industrial diversificationand flow of goods to world markets.
